Fabulous Canopy Bed Idea

Practically the canopy bed first evolved to provide extra warmth and privacy to the noble slumberer. Majestic palaces and stately homes might have looked very impressive, but keeping the wintery chills out of the grand bedrooms was a full time job, as winds whistled through the windows and cold corridors of these historic houses. Nowadays, this is less of a problem as most modern homes benefit from contemporary heating systems and well insulated windows. However, a few of us still choose to live in more traditional properties and in these instances a canopy bed could still be of practical benefit!

Designers Create Fabulous Canopy Beds for all Interiors

Within this gallery of fabulous canopy beds you can see how the basic frame has been adapted to suit all lifestyles and interior design schemes. There are simple minimalist examples, grand carved specimens, streamlined modernist frames and more rustic styles to suit country houses. The added advantage of the canopy bed is that whatever the basic style, the framework can be dressed to coordinate with your interior design scheme. Drapes and canopies can also be altered to suit changing seasons and temperatures. You might style your bed to suit a Mediterranean themed room, a jungle setting, an Art Deco scheme, a room like a mogul palace or even a naughty Parisian boudoir. The added bonus is that, if you change your mind, all you have to do is change your drapes! You can even dress up your fabulous canopy bed for special occasions such as Valentine’s Day or Christmas.
